collecting plums for seed from this ‘wild plum’ tree

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

collecting plums for seed from this ‘wild plum’ tree, it has a good crop this year. Prunus americana is so interesting because it’s always freely hybridizing snd mixing up its genetics with other prunus. here this tree is pollinated by other plums in town, and it’s seedlings will likely have lots of genetic variation but the wild phenotype is usually prevalent
